“What?”
I flung the door open ready to hurl abuse at the person on the other side. I came face to face with a very distressed looking Gerard.

“Adalie, I need to speak to you.” He started before I could go any further.

“Oh hi Gerard, come right in why don’t you!” I said sarcastically as he walked straight past me and sat down on the couch.
“yeah, that’s ok it wasn’t like I was busy or anything.”

“You don’t look busy.” He frowned, looking at my hideous cat pyjamas.

“Yeah, well I’ve had a bad day so can you make this quick because... ”

“I came back here because I thought you might know what was going on, it’s been really weird, like I’m going mad or something.” He started, biting nervously at his nails. That damn hospital band flashed at me once again and I wondered why he hadn’t removed it yet.

Something about the way he looked at me, he was confused and maybe more than I was.
“Ok..” I sighed and handed him a can of red bull. “If you wanna join the caffeine party then here ya go.”

He stared blankly into space, taking the can but leaving it unopened on the table.
“There’s something wrong, I went home and no one was home.”

“It happens..”

“Yeah well that wasn’t the end of it, I can’t get in contact with anyone. Every time I try to use my phone it goes dead, I’ve been wandering around all day and it’s like I’m going mad or something...” He looked at me as if I was going to be able to explain everything away.

“Look, I’ve had a shitty day too but I still don’t understand why you’re here. I.. I don’t even know you. ”

“Because I keep having all these weird things happening, I’m hearing voices and all this freaky shit keeps happening and..”

“Hang on...” I stopped him, “Just because you are going insane, that’s absolutely nothing to do with me.” I went back to picking at the loose threads on my pj pants.

“So why do I keep hearing your name...that’s all they are saying, your name.” He grabbed me by my shoulder suddenly getting my full attention.

“Please, if you know what the hell is going on can you just tell me.”

“Do you have the nightmares..” I whispered, biting my lip. Wondering for a moment if he might understand all the things that had been happening to me.

“Not nightmares, it’s while I’m awake. I’m not crazy Adalie, I just can’t remember things, important things. I’m talking to people and they won’t listen, it’s like they can’t even see me. I gotta call Mikey, I need to tell him where I am.....”

“...and Mikey would be?” I interrupted.

“My brother..”

“Give me your phone.” I sighed, holding out my hand.

“What?”

“Give me the damn phone, I’ll call your brother.”

He dialled the number and passed me the phone, it rang for a while before someone answered. I gave Gerard a thumbs up.

“Hi is that Mikey?”

“Yeah..” the voice on the other end of the phone sounded distant, and just as maybe just as tired as I had felt all day.

“Um I’m calling about Gerard, he’s turned up at my house..”

“Gerard, what the hell are you going on about? Who are you?”

“Um, you don’t really need to know who I am, I’m ...”

“Why are you calling from Gerard’s phone, what the fuck is...” I shrugged at Gerard and handed him the phone. I wasn’t sure there was much else I could say and I realised I must have sounded like some weirdo fan girl who had harassed his brother and stolen his phone. I left him to it and went back out to the kitchen to get some water.

“Any luck?” I asked when I returned with a couple of bottles of water.

“No, like I said before, my phone hates me. I swear it just switches off when I so much as touch it.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be such a grouch earlier. I guess we both had crappy days.” I sighed and flopped down beside him, realising that he couldn’t help what was happening any more than I could.

He smiled and stared at me for a moment, I went for another can of red bull except my hand was shaking so much that I ended up knocking it onto the floor.
“Don’t you think you’ve had enough of those?”

“Not nearly enough.” I swept my hand down under the table to retrieve the can, as I went to put it back down he grabbed onto my wrist with one hand and took the can away with the other.

“Watch this...” He explained as I glared back at him. I watched as he held my hand out in front of me.

“Your hands are shaking, you’ve had too much caffeine”

I stared down at my hand, he was right of course, four cans of red bull had sent my system into overdrive, my heart was pounding like mad.
“palpitations?” He asked his hand against my chest, I nodded and looked away.

“Y’see that’s what happens when you go on a caffeine overload. You need some water.”
Frowning, I opened my mouth to tell him exactly what I thought of anyone who dared to try and tell me what to do, but I decided against it, instead watching as he ran his fingers gently over my hand, it surprised me how soft his skin was and how I could hardly feel his touch. My skin was tingling still, in a different way as he moved up my arm and over the silver bumps of my scars. I hurriedly pulled away and jumped up from the couch.

“Adalie..”

I stumbled to the bathroom and hung onto the sink like so many times before. The girl in the mirror stared back from under her hair, pupils dilated like pin pricks and shaking like a leaf. Black strands of hair stuck to the sides of her face, a sleep deprived state . She was a mess.

“I didn’t mean to upset you.” He said softly from behind me.

“Well you didn’t....” I snapped, making a big deal of removing my earrings, as if it looked like I had actually been standing here for a reason.

“It doesn’t look that way to me.” His arm snaked around my waist and twisted me round so that I was facing him.

“Please... Just don’t judge me, because I know you are. Everyone does, my mum, my sister, just because I didn’t end up as perfect as they wanted me to be.” I found myself sobbing against his chest, I hadn’t expected all that to come out like that and I felt a bit embarrassed at having an outburst. He didn’t answer and instead simply stood there with me and waited until I had calmed down a bit.

“I’m sorry..I am just soo tired and I need to get some sleep..except I’m too scared to go to sleep...” I managed finally.

“It’s ok, I’m not gonna judge you. I mean come on, I’m the one hearing strange voices, who turns up randomly at your house with no place else to go. I don’t think I’m in any position to judge anyone, do you?”

I shook my head, “

So two hours later we were crashed on the bean bags in front of the tv, the couch behind us as a kind of back rest. Gerard had tried to get me to go and get some sleep, I had point blank refused and we had agreed to disagree.

“Do you know what I’m gonna do in a minute..I’m gonna get rid of this..” I decided suddenly, tugging at his wrist to get the hospital band off.

“I have tried already you know..” Gerard muttered while I pulled at it.

It wouldn’t budge so I got up to find some scissors, as I reached the door to the kitchen I felt that drop, I knew it well by now, that moment when the air changed. The temperature was dropping rapidly and the atmosphere grew heavy. My ears felt like I was on a plane, that popping sensation that you get. The television switched itself off and I panicked, racing back over to Gerard and diving onto the bean bag beside him.

“Something’s gonna happen..but I’m not asleep..it’s not supposed to happen while I’m awake!” I gabbled, practically hyper ventilated waiting for unseen hands to grab me or smother me like before, but it didn’t happen. Gerard dropped his head into his hands, like he was in pain and didn’t seem to realise that I was even there until a few moments later when he stared over at me with a strange look in his eyes.
The radio from my bookshelf crackled and then sprung into life, distortion turned into loud screams, screams that made your blood run cold and your whole body shake. One by one each item on the shelf smashed to the floor, from one end to the other. Without a second thought I dived under the table and scrunched myself up into a ball, Gerard followed a moment later.

“I need to tell you something, I just saw....”

“Look, unless it’s a master plan to get out of this fucking house, it can wait until later!” I shouted over the noise from the radio which had changed into a deep hum. With another loud pop the electrics fused, sending the room into darkness.

“What the fuck is happening?” He asked under his breath as the couch in front of us flipped back violently and began to turn black as if it was charred from a house fire .

“I don’t know...but I know someone who might..” I suddenly thought of Tam, she was the resident expert on weird things, and this was a definite ten on the weird scale.
“Right on the count of three we go for the front door.”

“We do..”

“Yes, we do. One, two..three..” and with that I pulled him after me and towards the door. I wrenched the handle round and raced outside, almost knocking over Jaimee who was walking up the path.

“Ade..” She started, glancing from me to Gerard and then back again.

“No time, we have to get to Tam’s house right now!” I panted breathlessly and glanced back over my shoulder. A thick black mist was drifting out of my front door, as it twisted around the pot plants on the doorstep they withered and died into blackened stumps. It hovered for a moment before swirling forwards in our direction.

“Oh shit..” She breathed as Gerard grabbed her hand and we raced down the street.
